In our small very rustic cabin my husband has built a alcove with cathedral support for the our old Osborne woodstove . We our installing the new black excel pipe ( the telescopic or adjustable ) ourselves . My question or need for clarification is that how is the pipe secured to the support box? I recall reading on this forum not to screw into the support with the excel or icc pipe. With the pipe the end that is nearest the support is crimped with no predrillled holes .As the pipe is expensive we would hate to ruin it by drilling holes when we should not have. We have found the manual instructions are unclear regarding this . How should we attach it to the support? . Thanks for any help
